An exclusive Helicopter scene of the Fabulous Miami Beach Hotels from 29th St. and Collins Ave. to the “Firestone estate.” Indian Creek Drive is on the left.
March 12, 1955.
French text?
Mrs. Anthony Pospisil
6714 W. 16th Street
Berwyn, Illinois
Ooh! An exclusive Helicopter scene! So exclusive that it’s Capitalized! Just Like The Hotels In Fabulous Miami Beach!
The “Firestone Estate” refers to the mansion of Harvey Samuel Firestone, the founder . In 1954, it was demolished for the construction of a new hotel- the Fontainebleau, so this card was printed and sat around for at least two years.
Berywyn, Illinois is a town of about 55,000 people in Cook County, near Cicero. Mr. Pospisil's address is unclear through Google StreetView, but it's in a nice little neighborhood across from Abe's Auto Repair. As to Mr. Pospisil's identity, the state of Illinois lists a barber license that expired in 1987 for the same name. Perhaps someone in Cicero remembers a French speaking barber?
I hope someone can make out the text. The script makes it difficult to read, but as stated above, I believe it’s French.
